Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!

"Yukou, when tomorrow is ugly, you will wait for me in the small wood next to the waterfall on the hunting ground. Remember, be careful, don't be noticed by others."

In the open space outside the jungle of the hunting ground, taking advantage of the gap between the guards’ encampment, a young **** in blue and indigo and wearing the uniform of the **** and **** quietly grabbed a delicate little palace lady, and said with a low smile: "Remember to bring your new The clothes made, my brother will wait for us there."

Shen Qi has a handsome face, but his eyebrows are very gentle. Yu Kou has always felt that such gentle eyes shouldn't be born on such an open face. It is a little offensive, but I don't know this inexplicable. Where does the sense of violation come from.

At this time, Shen Qi's eyes were bright, and he smiled silly and innocent. Yu Kou is a maid serving the queen dowager. Although she was happy in her heart, she still kept a little calm. She looked around and said: "Who is your brother, who can really get into this hunting ground? You won't be discovered, right?"

"Don't worry, Yu Kou, my elder brother has been very good since he was a child." Shen Qi's words were a bit proud, looked at Yu Kou without blinking, and whispered, "I really want to take you to see him right away. The sky is the mirror, and the moon is the match, so that my elder brother can certify our marriage..."

"Shhh! I'm not so anxious to kill you." Yu Kou snorted, her always indifferent face rarely showed a blush of shame, covering her face and hurriedly said, "I can't come out for too long, I'll go back first."

"When you are ugly, Xiaolin, you must remember!"

"I know, go back!"

Shen Qi had never thought that a disabled person like himself could also find a girl who was gentle and self-conscious. Yu Kou is a smart and open-minded good girl, this relationship is too difficult, Shen Qi does not want to wrong her for a short-term food, he wants to marry her, and take care of her for the rest of his life.

Why does the hour pass so slowly? I really want my brother to see Yu Kou immediately...

Even more, Shen Qi was lying on the hard bed, excited and happy, unable to sleep. Even the snoring of companions one after another did not appear to be noisy.

The guards on patrol passed by his camp with torches. When the ugly time was changing shifts, Shen Qi immediately lifted the thin quilt, picked up the clothes lightly and dressed them neatly, and then passed the several eunuchs on the bunk, and sneaked away with their shoes on. go out.

The moonlight is cold, the dense forest is cold, and the cold mist-shrouded woods are as quiet as a dormant monster. From time to time, there are a few strange bird calls. Because he sneaked out, fearing that he would be discovered, Shen Qi didn't carry a lamp, and only used the deserted moonlight to discern the direction, and quietly touched it in the direction where the sound of the waterfall came from.

The bushes were messy, and Shen Qi walked forward under the cover of branches and leaves with one foot and one foot shallowly, thinking: I wonder if Yu Kou has slipped out smoothly?

As I was thinking, there was a small rustling sound in front of me, especially in the silent night.

Shen Qihu was startled, stopped, bowed and hid behind the bushes and looked forward, vaguely seeing a figure in the forest ahead, as if she was a woman...

Could it be that Yu Kou arrived early?

Shen Qi's heart was overjoyed, and he straightened slightly and said in a low voice: "Yu..."

Soon, he found that something was not quite right! A heart fell straight into the ice cellar from ecstasy...that's not Yu Kou!

There was a man standing in front of the woman. Shen Qi didn’t notice the man before hiding behind the tree trunk. Now he stood up and looked at it, and realized that the man’s figure was tall and familiar. The imperial flying fish suit could not be worn by anyone, but it was Jin Yiwei. Commander Huo Stall!

Huo Wei talked a few words in a low voice with the woman, hugged each other quickly, and kissed like paint. The woman was lingering on the tree by Huo Stall, she couldn't help groaning in a low voice, and said dumbly: "Huo Stall, hug my palace tightly."

As if thunder struck, Shen Qi's eyes widened in an instant, cold sweating.

This voice is... Queen!

"Who?!" Huo Wei was alert and immediately raised his eagle-like gaze, tightly locking the direction Shen Qi was in.

After being discovered, Shen Qi had nowhere to hide. In extreme panic, he could only turn around and flee! His arms and cheeks were scratched by the bushes, but he had no time to take care of it, so he could only run desperately towards the waterfall.

"Huo Wei, hurry up! Kill him!" Empress Liang hurriedly gathered up messy clothes, her phoenix eyes burst with hatred, and she trembled and ordered, "Never let him leave here alive!"

Huo Que's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand to hold the handle of the Xiuchun Dao, staring closely at the hapless little eunuch. The next moment, the light of the knife flashed, and the Xiuchun Dao flew away from his palm and threw it at the back of the **** fiercely.

The jackdaw flew, and the **** threw himself down, rolling all the way down the slope, and fell into the deep stream of the waterfall with a thud.

Huo Wei caught up with him, and saw that there was a cliff under the **** in front of him. Under the cliff was a deep pool where waterfalls gathered. There was no way to survive. Huo Wei raised his hand and touched the wet shrub leaves, touched fresh blood on it, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, you can't live."

"No, I can't take this risk. I want to see people alive, and a corpse when I die!" The queen gritted her teeth and said cruelly, "Did you see his appearance?"

Huo Wei stretched out his hand to support the empress's slightly trembling shoulders, and said in a low voice, "It's dark, I didn't see my face clearly, I only knew that he was an eunuch."

The queen had no lingering thoughts anymore, she stubbornly broke away from Huo Stall, and said coldly: "He is injured, and he must not escape far. If you go back immediately, you will say that the palace has been assassinated. Call all the eunuchs to gather in front of the camp and see if it is true. Whoever is absent or has injuries, everything will be clear... Don't disturb the emperor, go!"

On the other side, Yu Kou packed up the new clothes for the worship hall. Not far from the camp, she heard Huo Jie summon Jin Yiwei to search the eunuchs, and a few words such as'there is an **** and an assassin' came to her heart. Tight, an ominous omen shrouded in my heart like a cloud.

She didn't dare to think deeply, clutching the cloth tightly and rushing all the way to the bottom of the waterfall.

Yu Kou did not believe in Buddha, but never longed for the blessing of the gods tonight. With cold air in her throat, she endured the almost bursting lung pain, rushing and praying, how much she hoped that the "Assassin" was not her Qi...

The moonlight was slanting west, and the sound of running water was getting closer and closer. She ran to the waterfall beside the forest like her life, and saw a tall and slender young man sitting on the rock where the light and shadow intertwined.

"Aqi!" Yu Kou whispered.

The young man pressed the knife and turned his head abruptly. A pair of narrow and sharp eyes reflected the shadow of the cold pool, like a sword light out of its sheath.

This person has the same face as Shen Qi, but it is not Shen Qi... Shen Qi always has a cowardly and warm smile in his eyes, and he won't have such a fierce look.

Yu Kou stepped back, her voice trembling and said: "You are not Ah Qi, who are you?" Then, when she thought of something, her eyes lit up: "Are you...A Qi's brother?"

The young man with the same appearance as Shen Qi had painful and complicated eyes. He didn't nod or shook his head, only slightly turned his body sideways, revealing a corner of the rock, and said in a cold voice, "He has been waiting for you."

Moonlight shone through the clouds, and the shadow faded, revealing a figure lying on the rock.

Upon seeing this, Yu Kou's pupils shrank: the person lying there was wearing the indigo eunuch's gown of the eunuch, with blood stains and weak breathing. It was her most beloved Shen Qi!

"The queen and Huo Wei...have an affair, brother... please take Yu Kou... and leave..."

Shen Qi climbed out of the deep pool with one last breath and climbed to the agreed place inch by inch. The Xiuchun knife was inserted into his back, and his injuries were aggravated by the impact of the falling water, and the blade almost penetrated his entire chest. He dragged the mottled blood all the way, his eyes had begun to fade, but he didn't want to breathe until Yu Kou's arrival.

He clenched his brother's sleeves tightly, with blood on the corners of his mouth, and said, "Please... brother. Once I die, the queen will definitely... find... Yu Kou's head. Please... protect her..."

Yu Kou's face was full of tears, biting her lip, and tremblingly wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, but she couldn't wipe it clean.

"Yukou, you hug me." The blood soaked the rock under Shen Qi, and a purple-red faint in the pool water. He stared at the sky blankly, and suddenly sighed, "The moonlight tonight is... so cold..."

Then, the brilliance in his eyes faded bit by bit, and there was no more sound.

…

"I broke the Xiuchun knife, washed away the blood, and buried his corpse hastily among the rocks under the waterfall. It was not until four years ago that his remains were returned to Qingzhou for burial."

In the Shufeng Tower, Shen Xuan drank most of the jar of plum wine, her dark black eyes with reddish bloodshot eyes, and then said: "I didn't take Yu Kou to escape, but put on the new clothes he prepared to worship. Replace him and return to the camp."

Still remembering the bleak night of the autumn wind and frost everywhere, Jin Yiwei drove all the eunuchs into the open space, and called them one by one. When the **** was named'Shen Qi', the eunuch's name was recited twice in the palm of the eunuch, but no one responded. .

Huo Que on the side became cold and frowned slowly.

"Shen Qi! Is Shen Qi in?"

When it was the third time, a juvenile **** slowly turned out from the shadows behind the camp, and replied in a deep voice: "Little slave is here."

The eyebrows are still the same, but Shen Qi is no longer the same.

Infected by the past, Xiao Changning felt a deep pain in his heart and asked in a low voice, "You are late, and Huo Wei never suspected it?"

"Naturally suspicious, but he didn't find any scars on my body, so I had to give it up." Shen Xuan pushed the empty wine jar aside and said coldly, "The queen mother is cruel, and she ordered as soon as she returned to the palace. All the eunuchs who accompanied him were executed at the same time, presumably they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

It was really a wave of unrest, and Xiao Changning was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "Then how did you escape?"

Shen Xuan looked at Xiao Changning, "The **** at the time was very respectful of A Qi and couldn't bear to kill him. However, the palm print **** didn't know that A Qi had been replaced by me, so he used an excuse to drew me 30 whips and demoted me. I went to your Xibi Palace and escaped because of this."

It was their first encounter, and it was not too beautiful.

Xiao Changning's cheeks blushed, and with some guilty conscience, he turned his gaze away, and said, "I see, you dormant in the palace for many years, just to avenge Shen Qi?"

Shen Xuan defaulted.

"I've never been a good person. Whoever kills him, I will kill whoever." Shen Xie sneered, and then said, "Furthermore, I sit in the East Factory in his capacity, and I also want Ah Qi to experience some people. Master's taste."

Xiao Changning felt sorrowful in his heart, and slowly exhaled a sigh of enthusiasm, and said: "May there be knowledge under Aqiquan, and you can enjoy the glory and wealth in the next life, without having to live so hard."

After all, she picked up her drink and drank it, blushing and vaguely said: "After listening to the story, this palace promised you to punish yourself for a glass."

She was already drunk, Shen Xuan hooked the corner of her mouth and kissed her forehead with her head sideways. She reached out and held her hand that still wanted to pour, and whispered: "Don't be greedy."

Xiao Changning didn't follow him, and groaned like a baby.

"Shen Xuan, I want to drink, I want to drink with you."

Xiao Changning was slightly drunk, looking at him dimly, with water gleaming in his eyes, and said distressedly: "Recalling the old thing, you must be uncomfortable?"

Shen Xuan snatched the wine from her hand and drank all the remaining wine for her, Fang said: "With your Royal Highness, it won't be so uncomfortable."

With that, he got up and said: "It's late at night, let's go back."

"Okay..." Xiao Changning replied softly, and stood up a few times while supporting the case. Who knew that his two legs didn't listen, he staggered and twisted and almost fell down.

Shen Xuan held her in time.

Xiao Changning leaned in his arms and said whispered: "Hey, what's the matter with me?"

Shen Xuan wrapped her waist, feeling the thin waistline under her palm, and said Shen Shen, "His Royal Highness is drunk."

Xiao Changning drinks poorly, although plum wine is sweet, but full of stamina. At this time, she drank several cups in a row, it was strange that she was not drunk.

Shen Xuan simply knelt down on one knee, squatted down with her back to her, and motioned: "Come on, the minister will carry you home."

The night is deep, the lights are dim, and the palace road is lonely. Xiao Changning lay down on Shen Yan's back in a daze, his body undulating with his steady steps, his nose sour, and he muttered: "Shen Yan, this palace will be nice to you in the future, this palace... this palace... "

The next few words have become indistinct murmurs, with nasal sounds, soft and soft, and the exhaled air current is like feathers scorching Shen Xuan's ears.

"I really want to tell A-niang that my palace has also found that person... who can carry me for a lifetime!" she said.

Shen Xuan paused, then gently put Xiao Changning down and stood up, holding her crooked body and saying, "Your Highness, stand up, just a moment."

Xiao Changning looked at him ignorantly, and said in a drunk manner: "What do you do?"

Before she finished speaking, Shen Xuan blocked her lips with plum fragrance, and said dumbly: "Suddenly I can't help it, I want to kiss you."
